Eliminated tonight: Kim Kardashian and Mark Ballas

ETA: I just got my Jennifer Hudson newsletter. She’ll be appearing on Dancing with The Stars on October 7th…

Damn. I lost all my pool points tonight! I decided to go with Cloris instead of Kim. Thinking about it in hindsight, Cloris is a beloved entertainer who dances pretty well when you consider she’s ancient. Kim’s bad dancing is just…bad dancing, and she’s got no other accomplishments to speak of. So, there you go. Bye Kim. You can go back to whatever it was you weren’t doing…

High lowlight of tonight: Jessica Simpson massacring “Angels”. Seriously, how does this girl have a career? And her “country” singing is a joke too.

Recap and Videos after the JUMP…

Tonight, who will be sent home?

Special guest tonight is Jessica Simpson.

After the re-cap, the judges call Warren and Kym’s Paso Doble worthy of an encore. I have to say, I agree.

Safe:

  • Tony and Alec
  • Rocco and Karina
  • Cody and Julieanne
  • Brooke and Derek
  • Susan and Tony
  • Warren and Kym
  • Maurice and Cheryl
  • Lance and Lacey
  • Misty and Maks
  • Cloris and Corky

Jessica Simpson is next, and now it’s time for some fakity-fake country. Her attempt at a “country twang” is *special*. I can’t understand a word she’s singing. Pasha Kovalev and Anya Garnis from the 3rd season of So You Think You Can Dance are the featured dancers. They are a welcome distraction.

Jessica Simpson “sings” Pasha and Anya dance:

Samantha chats up the safe couples. Rocco promises to bring it next week. Toni says it’s great to be safe first–last week she was the last contestant declared safe.

The next two couples declared safe are Cody and Julieanne and Brooke and Derek.

Len and Bruno are currently flying to London every week to do the British version of Dancing with the Stars. Brutal! Though, I’m not sure it’s worthy of an entire segment. Filler!

Len and Bruno are tired, very tired:

Next, a dance routine, choreographed by Brian Friedman and featuring former Pussycat Doll Carmit Bachar and Jenna Dewan of Step Up. The dancers are in the dark, with electric lights glowing from their costumes. I don’t see much point in a dance routine where it’s impossible to see the dancers moves. It looks kinda cool on my TV, but I can’t help thinking I’m missing something.

Dancing in the Dark:

Jessica Simpson is Baaack. She sings “Angels” and I’m not going to say a word. I’ll let you peeps have a go at her. OK, I can’t resist. This is horrifying. What’s with that weird yelpy catch in her voice? And why is she trying to swallow the microphone? Uhmm… And holy cow, the high notes have poor doggies across America freaking the eff out. Ok, peeps your turn. Heh. Suggestion: Turn the sound down and just watch Cheryl and Maks perform a rumba!

NOT DAVID ARCHULETA:

Samantha interviews Cody and Julieanne and Brooke and Derek. Julieanne chirps that Cody handled the sexy dance well for an 18 year old. And then Samantha reminds Julieanne that she danced the rumba just fine when she was 18. Brooke insists she’s never danced and has absolutely no training. o rly.

One more couple is safe: Susan and Tony

Two more couples are safe – Warren and Kym and Maurice and Cheryl

More filler – A segment on the Red Room.

Four couples are left. Lance and Lacey are safe. So are Misty and Maks The father and son rivalry is coming to an end! Kim and Mark are going home. Cloris and Corky are safe. Dang. There go my points. I picked Cloris.

The Elimination:

    Pasha! Anya! YAY!!! They made the Jessica Simpson crap at least tolerable. Although I probably should have muted and just watched instead. LOL. Pasha should be a male pro on this show. I’d like that. Yep. I would.

    (They were on season 3 of SYTYCD, along with Lacey :) )

  • J

    Jessica Simpson – Now ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s time for some fakeity-fake country. Her attempt at à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“country twangà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  is *special*. I canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t understand a word sheà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s singing.

    :lol_tb:

  • smartcookie

    I still think Pasha and Anya were way better than Lacey… (Sorry, my bias showing again. I loved Pasha and Anya and she went out 12th and he went out 6th, leaving Lacey the Annoying for 4th place. Grumble, grumble.)

    I picked Cody as the last dancer standing next to the outee, so I already know I do not get bonus points in the pool. Hee.

  • http://myspace.com/saltwatercures pj

    So far so good with the eliminations!

    Jessica Simpson. Ick.

  • baxter

    Seriously…Jessica Simpson….eek!!! Why is she famous again???

    ETA…Dear God in heaven…the 2nd song is worse than the first…if that’s possible.

  • Lisa

    Egads Jessica is ruining that song….

  • http://www.myspace.com/swood1104 Sarah

    I think my eardrums just burst.

    ETA: Thebluemartini – I said basically the same thing in chat LOL. I’m not so much a huge Archie fan, but I’d much rather hear him sing it (because he does sing it beautifully) than the caterwauling that Jessica Simpson just did.

  • http://www.myspace.com/gwendolyndiane GwendolynD

    Jessica Simpson = Comic Relief

    Wow.

  • thebluemartini

    I now love David Archuleta’s “Angels” way more after seeing Jessica Simpson perform it…

  • shell29

    That was horrible. Jessica destroyed that song.

  • bigepaz

    Oh my! Anya and Pasha! You guys are so lucky on the East Coast, watching it now. Can’t wait! But wait, I have to hear Jessica sing while they dance? Eek!

  • http://www.myspace.com/swood1104 Sarah

    Yep, bigepaz. Then you have to listen to her masscre “Angels” (unless you decide to mute – I highly recommend this) if you want to watch Cheryl and Maks do a Rumba.

  • smartcookie

    I would say to just hit mute and watch them dance, but Jessica S makes those horrifying faces like she’s simultaneously passing a kidney stone and about to throw up, so that really won’t help completely.

    (And meanwhile, on another channel, my husband’s beloved White Sox make the playoffs. WOO WOO.)

  • http://www.myspace.com/gwendolyndiane GwendolynD

    I want Jessica to be a guest mentor on Idol. I want her to perform at the results show. Then afterwards, I want to see if the look on Simon’s face rivals the one he had after Fantasia’s performance.

    That was a pretty sad performance just now.

  • Lisa

    DANGIT! I should have switched at the last moment, I almost did. I chose Cloris instead…. gggrrrr

  • cruzceleste

    I want Jessica to be a guest mentor on Idol. I want her to perform at the results show. Then afterwards, I want to see if the look on Simonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s face rivals the one he had after Fantasiaà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s performance.

    LOL

  • smartcookie

    Honestly, I’m just glad not to have to see Kim K anymore. Now we just need to lose Cloris.

  • http://www.myspace.com/gwendolyndiane GwendolynD

    Awwww…I like Cloris.

  • terps

    GOD, Jessica takes Carries sloopy seconds in men, now she doing country like Carrie

  • J

    now she doing country like Carrie

    well, I wouldn’t say it was country like Carrie as Carrie can actually sing :smile1_tb: I know what u were saying……but, I just can’t help the wise a** remarks :rolleyes_tb:

  • IGetCranked

    Ok, I just watched Jessica from you tube from curiosity and I am in complete shock. Her lips were even sticking to the microphone! WOW. I really didn’t expect it to be that bad. Was she trying to be sexy?

  • smartcookie

    Do we get video of Maks and Cheryl’s rhumba? (she asked greedily.)

    Thanks, mj, for the chance to see Pasha and Anya sexify the floor again. They are ssssmokin!

  • Grammie Kari

    Oh my gosh. There they were, Pasha and Anya as the featured dancers. By the time I got over my shock, I was able to record the last minute of their performance. He is such a babe!

    DWTS are getting with the program when they bring over some of the SYTYCD dancers! Plus, it gives them employment pay.

    Jessica was OK, but shouldn’t have done “Angels.”

  • bigepaz

    You guys are hilarious! Thanks for the tip. I’ve got another 45 mins to witness the Jessica debacle. Maybe I should run Archie’s version of Angels for the audio, while muting Jess?

  • http://myspace.com/saltwatercures pj

    Gotta pat myself on the back for getting a perfect score so far. Ahem. :)

  • IGetCranked

    bigepaz , I still haven’t gotten over the shock. Spare yourself! She couldn’t hit notes and I think that she thought the microphone was something other than a mic… :eek_wp: :sealed_tb: :embarassed_tb:

  • gabam

    I kept hoping that they would hurry up and announce that Lance was safe so that I could watch the rest of the show, Fringe. Darn it, they waited until Fringe was off before announcing that Lance and Lacey were safe. It was a conspiracy, I tell ya. LOL.

  • http://myspace.com/girlgeek mj

    Do we get video of Maks and Cherylà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s rhumba? (she asked greedily.)

    Yes, finally. It’s labeled “Not David Archuleta” LOL. Dailymotion is acting like a bitch tonight, so I uploaded it to You Tube.

  • sabby_rina

    LOL I liked the “NOT DAVID ARCHULETA” caption. HAHA

    I remember back in the day when Jessica use to be a great singer… Oh the late 90′s, how I’ve missed you.

    I’m kinda bummed about Mark Ballas leaving, but I could really care less about Kim. She’s a pretty girl, but I can’t help but get this really lazy vibe from her, like she doesn’t care. Poor Mark…

  • http://www.myspace.com/swood1104 Sarah

    I think that she thought the microphone was something other than a micà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

    *spits sweet tea all over monitor* BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

    sabby_rina, I’m bummed about Mark too. I like him. Oh well. I guess they have to take turns with the less than spectacular dancers, and since he won last year, it was his turn. Still. Sadness. :(

    P.S. – MJ, Pasha and Anya’s full names are Pasha Kovalev and Anya Garnis, and they were on season 3 of SYTYCD. :) I heart them!!

  • J

    I honestly could not listen to that whole song and my ears hurt

    IGetCranked….I’m still laughing!!!!!

  • http://myspace.com/girlgeek mj

    I just got my Jennifer Hudson newsletter. She’s going to be on DWTS on October 7th

  • http://www.myspace.com/swood1104 Sarah

    I just got my Jennifer Hudson newsletter. Sheà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s going to be on DWTS on October 7th

    Oooooh yay!! That’s next week, right?

    Finally, a guest performer who can actually sing!!

  • abbysee

    What happened to her, she use to be able to sing. Damn! Both Robbie Williams and David Archuleta ought to kick her ass just on general principle. Ugh! I mean I know they are too nice to do so, but still.

  • smartcookie

    Thanks for the Maks/Cheryl, mj! I’ve heard rumors (more speculation than rumors, really) that Maks is “dating” Cheryl and that Maks is “dating” Karina. I don’t think either one is true, but when he dances with them like THAT, you can understand the speculation.

  • gerreb

    I’m just glad Kim is gone!

    And Jessica…..oh man. Thank you David Archuleta for doing justice to the song since Jessica obviously can’t!

  • bigepaz

    I think that she thought the microphone was something other than a micà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

    Thank you for that IGetCranked. She really sucked on that mic! Geez.

    All I can say is OMG. Jessica’s “country” song wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be, but that’s not saying much. And then “it” came. I thought with all the above warnings my expectations would be low enough, but “Angels” was not just pitchy and rough. That was just all kinds of stinky wrong! I’m about to listen to Archie’s version just to erase that horrific tone ringing in my ears. At least I liked her dress – heh.

    I’m super happy to see Anya and Pasha on the show. Hopefully we’ll see more of them.

    Even though I didn’t put the majority of points on Kim, I’m glad she’s gone. I’ll miss Mark and his open mouth dancing.

  • bigepaz

    I kinda think Mark is relieved to be done dancing with Kim. Anyone else notice that?

    Also, I’ve been watching this show for some time now, but I have a question. Why is it DWTS doesn’t always reveal the bottom 2? I don’t get it. I like knowing who is the bottom – like on AI. Am I the only one?

  • Dlynne

    DWTS always has a great results show but I was so surprised to see Pasha and Anya!!! I loved them on SYTYCD. I could have done without Jessica, though. It sounded to me like she was trying to sing like Britney Spears. Not good. And whatever she was doing with that mic was scary.

    I’m glad that Kim was voted off. I don’t think she really had the confidence to do the show. The judges were really tough on her especially only two weeks into the show. It was hard for me to watch them tell her that she left them cold.

  • PokeSmot

    Alright, Archie left Jessica in the dust!!! I must say I don’t think I’ll ever enjoy hearing anyone else sing this song besides Archie (and Robbie, of course).

    And, am I really the only one who noticed that in Lance’s rehearsal video, Lance was wearing Cookies “Bad” red-orange shirt from the AI7 tour? I think someone has some splaining to do…j/k :wink_wp:

    I think the right couple was voted off…Kim just seemed so stiff; I don’t think she would have loosened up fast enough to make a difference in the competition. She has a wall that I don’t think her partner could have gotten past.

    And I agree with a lot of you who said that these dances were just too demanding at this stage in the competition; they should have waited at least another two to three weeks before bringing them out.

    This is my first time posting on any board during any type of competition, and I must say it’s pretty interesting. And most of you are kicking my ass on the DWTS poll. :annoyed_tb:

    Peace Out and Poke Smot!

  • CRB

    I thought Kellie Pickler’s Today show performance of her new single was worse than both of Jessica’s songs tonight. OK, not a ringing endorsement but…

    On Kim getting the broom. Que sera, her dancing was slow and tentative, not even up to the par this early and I didn’t see much promise of improvement. As Joel McHale says on The Soup “a big ass and a sex tape” and clearly dancing ability won’t be joining that list any time soon.

  • AZIdolFan

    i’m so glad Kim is gone. she is just so full of herself that she wouldn’t let herself go on the dance floor.

    i’m so glad that Pasha & Anya danced!!!! Pasha is awesome. Anya is pretty good. Maybe next season they will ask Pasha to be a pro, he would be better than Derek. (there is something about derek that i’m not connecting with)

  • abbysee

    Poke Smot, I love your name ;)

    Even though not voting for Kim make my poll numbers suck, (not as much as Jessica) I too and glad she is gone. I think she thought she had to feel real passion for her partner to dance well. Oh well, she and her caboose are going home. Yipee.

  • sailormoon

    The only “bright” spot during Angels was of course Cheryl and Maks’ dancing. It was a subdued sexy Rumba. Jessica Simpson was beyond terrible…I wonder what happened, she didn’t use to be that bad. And I hope it’s her own microphone cuz she slobbered all over that thing. I wouldn’t want to use it after her that’s for sure…lol

  • sailormoon

    Sorry for the double post.

  • nomi

    It’s not just the sound of JS’ voice it’s the very unpretty OTT emoting that she does. Getting “ugly” (tm Fantasia) doesn’t work for all singers. I think if she pulls up on the exaggerated country soulfulness (which feels so very false) she might have better control over her voice. I hate to say that her sloppy vocal distracted me from Max and Cheryl so I’ll have to watch again on mute (except that the camera spent too much time on JS, so its totally ruined).

  • clee1107

    Ohh…I’m so late…I’m glad I missed the result show. I recorded, but I did not watched the result yet. Thanks for “warning”. I’ll mute the volume at that moment. I thought Jessica Simpson was an actress when she started singing. :ponder_tb: Am I too harsh? Sorry Jessica…I’m so spoiled…

  • soundscene

    Oh gosh, the morbid curiousity caused me to watch that Jessica Simpson “Angels” thing. That was wrong in so many, many ways. Just so many ways. So many. Ways.

  • seattle

    Well, soundscene, I have to admit to being suckered into watching it too. I figured it couldn’t really be that bad. Now my ears are bleeding and I’m am embarrassed for the mic. It really was that bad.

    Ashlee should have suggested she lip sync.

  • http://www.dancin.ca dancin

    lol sarah hehe
    i truly don’t know how jessica is still in the business

    great show but for her lol

    weeee kim the zombie is gone… it floors me that someone with that body and looks can be soooooooo unsexy on the dance floor lol

    at least cloris can move (i luv cloris lol)

  • jodeb

    Funny thing, after I watched Jessica shake her boobs at the Dallas Cowboys game, I made up my mind about her. As a country music fan, I was kind of surprised to see her video “Come On Over” on the country channels.

    Surprised in a good way. She sounded good, looked great and I liked the song. True, she didn’t sing it as well live, but I have seen so many *singer* die live, that I wasn’t surprised.

    I love Julianne and she is making a huge hit in the country scene, but IMO, in her first video, “This Song In My Head,” her voice sounds squeaky and a little bit like a munchkin, and that isn’t live. But, Julianne is beautiful *and* likeable.

    Jessica is just beautiful and has that built in reputation and no one likes her, really. Just as no one likes Kim, who IMO is also beautiful. I don’t know much about her, but I really enjoyed looking at her. (I’m a straight girl, BTW)

    So, it just seems strange in a way, that the prettiest blonde and the prettiest brunette on DWTS are/were so disliked. In a way, I guess it’s good that people take into account the whole package and Kim was not the best dancer or Jessica the best singer, but as great beauties, they will survive.

    Seems as if Lacey is bringing a lot of the SYTYCD crowd with her!

    Backstage: Lacey’s Think You Can Dance Pals Visit

    Dancing with the Stars was infiltrated Monday night by some of its stiffest dance competition: three heavyweights from Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance.

    Sitting ringside was So You Think You Can Dance creator, executive producer and head judge Nigel Lythgoe, who has always made a point of praising Dancing with the Stars on the air. In another section of the ballroom sat So You Think judge Adam Shankman, who also directed the feature film Hairspray. And three seats down from Shankman sat the show’s Season 2 winner, swing dancer Benji Schwimmer.

    “They all came to support me,” says new pro Lacey Schwimmer, who was a fan favorite during So You Think’s Season 3. Lacey really needed their support. Because even though she and her star, ‘NSync’s Lance Bass, have racked up three solid scores for their cha cha cha, quick-step and paso doble, they’re had their wrists slapped repeatedly by head judge Len Goodman for not doing traditional steps. “He’s really got it in for them,” says Shankman. “And it’s ridiculous, because the audience loves them. And they’re the only ones out there who look like they’re really having fun. Everyone else has these smiles plastered on their faces, but Lance and Lacey are the real thing.”

    I missed this from a couple of days ago. Cloris and Corky – Clorky. Heh. Give Dave and Vote for the Worst a shout out.

    Clorky shout-out

  • cruzceleste

    ^^ Well they do have a great sense of humor… lol that was funny…

  • sma11ie

    LMAO, Jessica Simpson, what happened?! I can hear DC’s voice talking to Archie now: “Hey, did you hear Jessica Simpson buutchering Angels on DWTS?” and Archie’s response, “Haha, that’s unfortunate, haha.” Unfortunate indeed. I vaguely remember her performing that live during some awards show a couple years ago, and she was no Archie, but not NEARLY that terrible. Seriously, I repeat myself but WHAT HAPPENED? Stop being a caricature of yourself and just sing normally!

  • ptslittlecomment

    I missed this from a couple of days ago. Cloris and Corky – Clorky. Heh. Give Dave and Vote for the Worst a shout out.

    That was so funny! You have to love CL for her willingness to do this at 82 years of age. She is to be admired. Good for her partner to go along with the jokes. Heck I don’t even watch the show and I might vote for them!

  • Zeppelin

    Jessica Simpson is Baaack. She sings à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Angelsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ 

    MaryMotherOf :snake_ee: :blink_tb: :shock_ee: :zip_ee: My EARS!! :glurps_tb:

    :lol_tb: What is she doing??!
    And LMAO at her country voice. I’m still in shock over her career move. Just WTF.

    ETA: For the record, I love hot people.

  • amy123

    I am not a big David Archuleta’s fan, but his tour version of Angels was 1,000,000 times better than Jessica’s on DWTS. I really liked his version and thought it was the best song of his set.

    I was sitting there listening to Jessica singing and I realized where I had heard the song before (form Archie) and my mouth dropped open at how bad she was-EEEKKK!!! Finally, I just turned the volume down and watched Max and Cheryl dance.

    I kind of figured Kim would leave eventually (you could so totally tell she wasn’t putting her all in her dances) but I’m sad we won’t get too see Mark dance in the competition this season anymore. :[
    He is one amazing dancer.

  • Grammie Kari

    I was a little bit surprised. I can’t help but wonder if Cloris is acting or if some of the things she does is because of her age. I totally admire her acting abilities.

  • http://myspace.com/susanatfox sumidol

    Jessica Simpson came on and my 12 year old son said Mom, she is so pretty, I didnt know that she could sing. I told him, well yes she can, that is how she started out. THEN she started singing and slaughtering Angels, so, I told him, well son, I take that back – she CANNOT SING!! YUCK

  • hardkandy

    Jessica’s rendition of Angels is beyond terrible. Just, NO.

    I echo the sentiments MJ, how the hell does she have a career?
